    For the first time ever, the orange child rapist is doing something good: he’s convincing people to switch to EVs at a rate nobody ever did. Seeing gas prices skyrocket has changed the mind of more coworkers to buy an EV as the next car than anything else. So… thanks, I guess?

        What about the last ten years makes you think that the typical American has any shred of empathy within them?

          Dude, I yelled at my coworker for calling the school bombing a ‘pain point’. Let’s not behave like MAGA makes up the typical American.

      There’s a part of me that wants to believe that Trump is basically a double agent meant to be so blatantly corrupt and awful, taking advantage of every system in the US, that it finally wakes the US up and to realize how fucking awful everything actually is, almost like penetration testing.

          It’s barely 50% of voters. Not even close to 50% of population. Still sad as fuck though.

        In his first term I liked to think that he was actually Andy Kaufman in a fat suit. That he’d faked his death and this was his Gesamtkunstwerk.

        It would have been legitimately on brand, and as a punchline being “humanity is fucking stupid you’re all fucked,” would be hysterical.

        Alas…
